What our families say: Queens Court Care Home

"My sister suffers from dementia and has lived in Queens Court since December 2018. I am very touched and impressed with the warm, friendly care she has received. Initially, she found it difficult to settle and was treated with respect and patience and was helped to participate in activities. She adjusted to her situation and was happy. Special events like her birthday, staff celebrated with her family, Christmas - quartet music which she loves. So much I could say. She is now very ill - the nursing care is excellent."

"The decision to put my aunt in a home about 20 months ago was a very difficult one but Queen’s Court has been a godsend. During that time, my mum was hospitalised and unable to visit, organise my aunt's finances etc. The manager was so empathetic and concerned about my mum and not increasing our stress, everything could wait until she was well. Staff are genuinely interested in my aunt’s wellbeing (from medications and care to tracking down her signature beret). They recognise too, the impact on the wider family. During Covid, we’ve had regular updates, Skype calls and the staff call with personal updates as needed. My aunt recently took a turn for the worse and the staff have been great at keeping us informed, organising additional Skype calls and a fully PPE’d visit for my mum. Where she’s needed new slippers or jumpers, one of the nurses has organised and shopped for them personally. We really can’t thank Queen’s Court enough for their kind, gentle, respectful and expert care."

"My 3-week stay was very comfortable and fulfilled exactly, as a post-hospital care home, my need for a place to recover strength before going home. All the staff were very helpful and the caregivers always kind to residents, no matter the time of day or night. Unfortunately due to Covid-19, some things could not be offered but would I come back again? Yes, certainly. As to value for money, I expect it is, I just have nothing to compare it as I write."

Linda Jcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.83 out of 5

"My mum entered Queens Court a month or so prior to the Covid-19 lockdown following a stroke in January this year. From the first visit I made, I have been impressed by the level of engagement and genuine interest in my mother's wellbeing. Following her stroke and associated loss of sight, my sister and I have taken great comfort in the care, attention and quality of the care she has received."

"On Sunday last I went to visit a very special lady at the Queens Court Nursing Home. I was greeted immediately at the front door with simple pleasantries. After a slight confusion (my friend is registered using her married name, not the name I knew her by) with regard to my friend's surname, I was led to the side entrance. I signed a form and was instructed to wash my hands. I was impressed by the due diligence. I was then taken to the serene and well-kept garden. It appeared very welcoming, with others socially distanced, yet enjoying the company of apparent loved ones. My friend arrived shortly after I was seated. Her smiles immediately told me she was in good hands. Tea and cake arrived shortly into my visit. Conversation flowed with ease despite her faltering memory. The visit ended far too abruptly (30 minutes). Without a doubt, I will gladly recommend this very professional operation. Looking forward to returning."

"The quality and delivery of care at Queens Court is first class and I have been deeply touched by their thoughtfulness and gestures. The staff here really care about their work, the residents and their families."

Johanna Ccarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"The care provided during my Mum's stay at Queens Court has been exceptional. The staff is patient, professional, and kind. The home is clean, bright, and spacious. It never feels miserable when I go there. It is in a great location for visitors and always welcoming. My Mum told me she was very happy due to all the activities and day trips. The meals are varied and of high quality. During the lockdown, I never worried that she wasn't being properly cared for. I would definitely recommend this home."

"Queens Court has been a great home for my mum for the last ten years. She has received some wonderful support and affection."

N Scarehome.co.uk rating: 4.92 out of 5

"I thank every single member of staff at Queens Court for the wonderful and loving care and support they gave my Mother-in-law during her whole time there, all the way until her last day and also for all the support they gave us. A wonderful care home. A home from home. Thank you so much. We cherish all our lovely memories with Mum and all of you there. Looking forward to the next summer tea party and barbecue in the garden. Amazing carers and manager who in my heart became friends. Thank you. All the very best to all of you. Lots of love from the whole family."

Hermana Scarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"I have nothing put praise for my experience to date at Queens Court. They treat my mum with care and respect and are responsive whenever I or my sisters contact them. It has been hard during lockdown but they have done well in very difficult and challenging times. They have kept us fully informed for which I am very grateful. I think that my mum is in the best place to meet her increasing needs as Parkinson's takes an ever greater toll on her. Thank you, Queens Court."

D Rcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.92 out of 5

"I can compare care provided by Queens Court to my mum and that provided to my aunt, in another care home. I feel Queens Court care well for my mum who suffers from Parkinson’s. They communicate promptly and clearly and are responsive to my concerns. I genuinely feel she is in the best place with respect to her needs. The contrast is huge to my aunt’s care home who refused to return calls or give any information whatsoever to her family, including to her next of kin. When she died, they did not phone my aunt’s next of kin and her passing was communicated by the police. They did not return calls until 5 days after her death. Queens Court is an exemplar of care and communication in comparison. The Queens Court carers and nurses are really kind and professional and deserve unqualified praise."

Dominique Rcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.33 out of 5

"We are very happy with the care our father receives, which he also appreciates. The home has been very helpful in setting up video calls which he enjoys and keeping him active, healthy and happy during this difficult time of lockdown. They've kept us informed at both local and national level about the situation. The care review happened as usual and was very reassuring with a well informed and kind senior member of staff."

Susan Bcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.42 out of 5

"My mother joined Queens Court in September 2019 when she was very poorly. Since then she has gone from strength to strength. She has settled really well and whilst I cannot visit at the moment I am confident that she is receiving excellent care. The staff is amazing, cheerful, professional, and really know the residents and their relations. I congratulate the Manager and her staff for the service they are giving our vulnerable elderly relations. I also congratulate the Barchester Group for overseeing the service. Please let it continue."

J Bcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.83 out of 5

"The General Manager is currently sending regular updates to all the relatives, which are extremely reassuring and very much appreciated in these unprecedented and worrying times. They are always written with such compassion and sensitivity. I always ask her to thank her outstanding team for their dedication and exemplary care of all the residents at Queens Court Care Home. I have never doubted it, but now more than ever I am overwhelmingly grateful and humbled by their commitment in the face of such adversity."

Jackie Bcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"I cannot recommend Queens Court highly enough. It is both professional and friendly with an overriding feeling of safety. The rooms are airy and fastidiously clean. The meals are of a very high standard and the residents are looked after extremely well. But the one thing that really stands out for me is the kindness of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for the residents and the visitors and I have enjoyed many delicious treats including a birthday cake. Thank you so much for looking after my aunt so well."

Charlotte Tcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.17 out of 5

"My mother lived at Queens Court from June 2019 - March 2020, where she died aged 88. She suffered from dementia and was effectively paralysed from the waist down. She was not always the easiest of people to deal with because of her losses of mental lucidity. Despite all this, the staff at Queens Court could not have been more caring, understanding and patient with her, to which she did respond I was pleased to hear on many occasions. The atmosphere at Queens Court was always welcoming and friendly, her room spotless and airy, and the staff full of smiles and cheery conversation, as well as being factual and helpful if asked pertinent questions on my mother's condition. Guests were always given refreshment and nothing seemed too much trouble. I saw other care homes, and there was no question that Queens Court was head and shoulders way above many others. The manager and her whole team do an outstanding job and should be hugely congratulated in these very difficult times. Highly recommended."

Nicholas Ncarehome.co.uk rating: 4.33 out of 5

"The staff at Queens Court provide excellent care and support for the residents. The staff engage with the residents and treat them with dignity and respect. Communication with the responsible relative could be improved regarding health visits and other need-to-know matters. The building is kept in good order and regularly cleaned with attentive staff. The kitchen provides good quality food and the homep rovides a range of internal and external activities. Entry to the home is well controlled to keep the residents safe and I am not aware of problems between residents and their property. Barchester Homes were recommended to me for quality and value."

Richard Ocarehome.co.uk rating: 4.83 out of 5

"My aunt has been a resident for the last 3 and a half months. We have all been very happy with the level of care she has received. The staff have been very gentle and caring towards her. As a fluent Italian speaker, she has particularly enjoyed speaking to one person, who has made her feel very happy! She is leaving to go home otherwise she would have remained at Queens Court. Thank you for your care and attention to detail."

Gillian Rcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"The staff were all very friendly, kind and patient. On the whole, I received excellent care and would recommend. 3 staff in particular, but all the staff were good. The rooms ere nice, kept clean, as were the washing facilities. The food was good and varied. For general, overall care I would recommend Queens Court highly."

A Rcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.25 out of 5

"The standard of love and care our friends receive in Queens Court is excellent. Every single member of staff we came in contact with are friendly and helpful. I recently went through the care plans. I was very impressed with the detailed reports that are kept. Our friends have been residents since 2017. The quality of their lives has been transformed. We always leave them with a smile on our faces as we know they are safe and happy."

J Scarehome.co.uk rating: 4.92 out of 5

"Excellent once again. Saw residents using the magic table and staff enjoying interacting with them. Pet therapy dog was also present. Very happy atmosphere but staff also well focussed on resident's needs. I did have a complaint about financial administration which lead to an investigation and was resolved but I never received the outcome from head office as I should have done. The complaint was not against the general manager, who is quite excellent."

Andrew Hcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.92 out of 5

"Excellent care over last six months. Visited last week and saw Magic Table in action with staff interacting very constructively with residents. A good informal atmosphere but staff always focused on patient's needs. I did have concerns re financial administration over the failure to collect FNC payments and deduct them from fees (which were no fault of the general manager) which were investigated and the problem resolved but I was never provided by head office with any feedback as I should have been. I think Barchester should consider introducing some sort of advisory service or at least links to where advice can be obtained. As a court of protection deputy and lawyer, but relative (so unpaid) I find many of the tasks extremely time-consuming, if not confusing - i.e. how to apply for FNC payments/ how to complete forms for OPG, etc."

Andrew Hcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.92 out of 5

"I find the staff all very kind, caring and good with patients. Nice rooms, i.e. the bedroom is a good size. Very nice common parts. My friend was given a very nice birthday party at which the nurses participated - singing Happy Birthday to the patient."

J H carehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"Very good. My father is very happy with the care. The staff are kind and sympathetic. The food is good. The turnover is low (but obviously there is a turnover in this sector). We very much value the "homeliness" and the fact that the manager does not segregate by degree of dementia (barring eating times)."

S B carehome.co.uk rating: 4.58 out of 5

"Staff very attentive to visitors as well as residents. A nice varied programme of activities and outings. Very important. Very helpful physiotherapy service which encouraged us to additional help on return home. Pleasant environment. Trains a trifle noisy. Thank you."

"My father has been extremely well looked after during his six weeks at Queens Court. He was very reluctant to go into a home, but the management and staff made him very welcome. The constant care and attention have actually improved his overall alertness during his stay. Whilst he is glad to be returning home, he has enjoyed his time in Queens Court."

Robert Ccarehome.co.uk rating: 4.58 out of 5

"My mother is so happy and settled at Queens Court and she has embraced all the wonderful activities on offer. She is always treated with dignity. The general manager is exemplary and all the staff are extremely caring and compassionate. The home is very clean and the food is excellent. The atmosphere is incredibly warm and welcoming. Queens Court was recommended to me and it has certainly lived up to expectations. I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for my mother to live following the death of my father. I would recommend the home without hesitation or reservation."

Jackie Bcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"While looking for a care home for an elderly friend who was no longer able to look after himself, Queens Court was recommended. As I live too far away to visit, with fingers crossed I had to trust in the recommendation. Four weeks later when I did visit, I was truly amazed at the quality of care, the standard of living conditions and cleanliness. The decor is also beautiful. Room doors are left open so residents can be seen. There are numerous staff who are around at all times, nurses, carers and cleaners who are all caring, friendly and welcoming. Staying for lunch on two occasions, the dining room and kitchen staff also have the same standards and the food is top class. The difference this home has made to my friend is unbelievable, he has gone from being very down and unable to walk, to slowly getting back on his feet and the outings they go on has definitely put a smile back on his face. Knowing he is safe and well cared for is a huge relief. Thank you Queens Court from both of us."

Myra Pcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"Living 3,000 miles away from my sister, her only family member still living, it is difficult to express how hard it is only seeing her once or twice a year. Ever since we chose to place her in Queens Court care, I have not had one day of worry about her well-being, comfort or understanding given her difficult-to-diagnose dementia. We Skype every other week thanks to a cheerful carer put in charge of the tablet and although my sister can no longer speak, just seeing her looking groomed and relaxed, a gleam of recognition in her eye when she sees my face, means everything to me. I love that unlike the first assisted care home she went to, I see the same staff every time I visit, which would mean those carers like working at Queens Court. Despite those 3,000 miles, I am not a stranger to them, which is incredibly reassuring. In my opinion, the home deserves every award it garners!"

Anne Scarehome.co.uk rating: 4.5 out of 5

"The staff at Queens Court Care Home made my mother's transition from home to care home effortless and seamless. They treated her with dignity and respect and afforded her space to settle. There was little fuss but genuine warmth. Always smiles welcomed me, the anxious daughter on every visit and both my mother and I have experienced nothing but efficient kindliness."

"My friend is a proud, independent individual who has found it very difficult to accept his increasing reliance on others.

He is also difficult to look after medically and the staff have been very good at giving medication and allowing for his disabilities."

"My uncle came to stay at Queens Court at very short notice for a period of respite care. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and he has remained there for considerably longer than anticipated. I cannot praise the staff and home highly enough. The manager is the epitome of professionalism and the charge nurse is excellent in his approach with a very ill and irascible resident. Queens Court is excellent."

Lovely clean rooms and a great deal of personal attention. I would highly recommend this care home."

Caroline Scarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"Excellent atmosphere; the home is clean but not over-formal; staff are forthcoming and caring, involved with residents. The resident obviously has an excellent relationship with care staff and especially the nurse. Although she presents some challenging behaviour, this is well managed. The home keeps closely in touch with me. A very thorough care plan is in place and regularly reviewed."

"Mother is staying here in respite care after breaking her lower femur. I have been hugely impressed by the caring concern shown by the staff, almost all of whom seem to be really committed to the cause and genuinely concerned about the patients' welfare. There is a good vibe, good spirit within the home. Maybe the staffing in late evening could be increased - those on duty are heroic. Care is the primary objective."

The atmosphere of the home was welcoming and pleasant and spotlessly clean. The two head nurses were caring and highly competent, both being readily available in different circumstances. The management of the home was first class and visitors were given every consideration."

Robert Bcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.67 out of 5

"My mother has settled in extremely well at Queens Court and seems perfectly happy here. She is well looked after, well-fed and enjoys the atmosphere and activities.

Now that my Godmother is unable to see clearly all the staff take this into account and are helpful. Occasionally the hot is not hot which is a shame and the food is very good."

S Bcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.75 out of 5

"I always think that it is not just one person who is the carer for the day looking after you but to the members of staff also. There is a routine and those foremost that keep my room clean and tidy. Importantly too, there are activities to join. So together with food nicely cooked and presented must make for a care home to be recommended."

"I visit once every few weeks to share time with my good friend. Usually, I attend the music therapy day and join him for lunch. I always receive a warm welcome. The staff are friendly and now recognise me. I also talk to them about my friend and they come across as friends and are attentive to his needs and difficulties. In the summer it is nice to sit together in the garden. I always look forward to my visits and enjoy them."

M Mcarehome.co.uk rating: 3.92 out of 5

"My mother has been at Queens Court for almost 18 months, and in that time her health has improved considerably, which must be largely attributable to the excellent care on offer. Almost without exception, the staff are friendly, patient and caring, and seem genuinely to enjoy their work. As a result, residents, for the most part, seem happy too. There's plenty going on during the day, and excellent food. My only criticism would be that some rooms are quite small, but there's not a lot the management can do about that."

John Fcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.75 out of 5

"The Care Home provides residents with a warm and secure environment in a very dedicated manner. It is well run and individual needs of each resident are attended to with loving care. Meetings are held every three months with the residents, family and friends and relevant staff to discuss any issues in order to improve life in the home. Areas of improvement might include better communication between staff, residents and relatives with regard to management of hospital visits and visits by healthcare professionals, what the responsible person should expect of the care home and what the care home should expect of the responsible person. This might take the form of a leaflet."

Richard Ocarehome.co.uk rating: 4.42 out of 5

"As relatives of a former resident, who sadly passed away in February 2017, we were invited back to a memorial service in his memory, along with other residents' family members. It was very carefully planned with the main focus on happy memories. The home manager, priest, music therapist and volunteers all took part. We were impressed with the new refurbishments which had occurred in the past few months."

"My husband benefitted greatly from Queens Court, after having had 12 weeks in hospital. He improved greatly after 2 days, walked unaided within the zimmer frame. The happy atmosphere created by the carers made such a difference and every helper showed care and empathy for each patient. For every resident to go down to the dining room for lunch and supper makes them feel part of the group and gives a feeling of belonging. Also, the various activities were uplifting, especially the music and art therapies."

Elizabeth Bcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.92 out of 5

"I missed my wife very much, but I was made to feel comfortable and not too lonely, and cared for. I understand that occasionally I have to be away from her to give her a rest. I really enjoyed the food. I spent most of my time sitting in the sun and enjoying the pretty garden. I do not think I took part in any activities, as I am not able to remember. My room was near the entrance so I was happy to be there and I did not feel isolated."

I had heard of The Barchester Healthcare Group from my sister who's husband had been in a different branch. I am an ex-ward sister and I can not fault this home. The general manager has her finger on the pulse, with extremely high standards of care which passes down throughout the home. My Husband appears to have settled in well and I would certainly recommend this home."

"Queen's Court is comfortable, well run and well staffed. The manager and all staff are friendly and helpful. Care seems to be very good. My wife who has been there for over 12 months says she is very pleased with the care she receives and she likes her room. The activities for residents seem to be many, well run and appropriate. Frankly I am very happy for my wife at Queen's Court."

"My dad came to Queen's Court in April after about 3 months in a residential care home, it was clear he needed nursing care, which Queen's Court provides. I am writing this in late August. It has taken my father a long time to settle in, but the care is good. He has a self-contained room. As I write this, he is doubly-incontinent, and cannot walk without falling over. He has been very enthusiastic about the food from the start - which is elegantly served twice a day in the restaurant. It has taken my father a long time to be able to join in group activities, but he seems increasingly able to do so with encouragement. The staff are kind and thoughtful, even on his not-so-well-behaved days. There is a regular programme of activities, and my father is encouraged to join in. Falls continue to occur, if he attempts to walk. He was successfully assessed for continuing care. I visit my father twice a week."

"My dear friend became one of your residents in 2013 after ill health and dementia. I had been her hairdresser for many years. After my salon closed, I went to my friends home to carry on caring for her hair and nails. Barchester Queens Court Care Home kindly agreed I could continue and myself and my friends family wanted this as most of my friends family live overseas. Although my friend's dementia is getting worse, she is so well looked after and the staff care for her and all the residents as well, by always doing a lot of different activities and encouraged everyone who wants to join in. I visit many homes as all of my clients are elderly and Barchester Queens Court Care Home is by far the best."

"Living in the U.S. and being my sister's only close kin, looking for a nursing/care home from so far away was difficult. My sister was in an assisted living facility but was now unable to care for her deteriorating conditions. As soon as we met with the Queens Court management and saw the home, we were impressed. Since moving my sister into Barchester Queens Court Care Home, I have not had one worry about her getting the best of care and that I made the right choice. This is a huge relief for someone who lives 3,000 miles away."

Anne Scarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"Excellent care by friendly, committed staff who genuinely care for the residents. The manager is excellent and the standard of the care and staff are exceptional. This is all down to her. The activities are varied and good but I only wish the films shown on a Sunday were more varied."

"My mum has lived at Queen's Court for nearly two years. It is a lovely place, with very supportive, kind staff. The food is generally excellent. This is how a care home should be."

"My wife has been in Queens Court since Friday thirteenth September (sic!) 2015 when she was transferred from another hospital. She suffers from dementia (now in its sixth year) as well as incontinence. I have been very impressed with the care she has consistently and constantly been given during these six months."

"My mother spent a month at the above care home. It was an emergency. Manager came to view my mother at the time living on her own (with a care plan through an agency), my mother was confused incontinent or able to take care of herself and a danger (throwing water over the toaster where the toast caught fire). Nothing but kindness and care throughout her stay at Queens Court wonderful. Mum at 95 this month health improved, gained weight, coherent in speech. Absolutely faultless."

"Warmly welcomed for my regular monthly visit, I arrived to find Mum being helped with her lunch, as expected. I waited for her in the garden, to which she was brought out when she had finished eating. The food was, as ever, of a very high standard. The garden was ideal for enjoying on a sunny, summer's day: raised beds at eye level, evidently well cared for, and surrounding trees that Mum commented favourably on, several times during the couple of hours that we sat there. A lot of care has clearly been put into the design and maintenance of the garden. Staff were attentive to us both, without being intrusive, throughout my stay (7 hours in all). Mum is steadily becoming more frail and the team have helpfully adapted her routine, to include earlier meals and a regular rest after lunch, which Mum clearly benefits from. During her rest, I was able to have a relaxed, open, informative and helpful discussion about Mum's current and future health and welfare with the manager."

"There is a homely feel to the nursing home and a modern design and layout, more reminiscent of an upmarket hotel."

"I have been impressed with the overall service and care offered to my cousin. The staff appear to be well trained and efficient, but more importantly they appear to have time to spend socially with residents. I am also extremely grateful to all the staff for care and friendship offered to me and to my cousins visitors."

"My mother has lived at Barchester Queens Court since May 2011. Having suffered a severe stroke she has in fact improved in health since then, largely thanks to the excellent care provided her. Barchester Queens Court is very well run. The staff are always smart and helpful. Many activities are arranged for the residents. All efforts are made to entertain and stimulate them. The home is clean and bright. The meals are beautifully prepared and served."

"My cousin was a resident from March 2010 until she died in April 2015. During that time I visited her at least once a week. Since then I have continued to visit and talk to the residents, play or do anything else I can to assist the staff. The staff are very caring and every one is treated with respect and dignity. Nothing is too much trouble for them I would not have any hesitation in recommending Queens Court to anyone."

"My husband enjoyed his 2 weeks respite stay at Barchester Queens Court Care Home and was well looked after. I found the standard of care was high and the facilities were excellent. The staff were kind and patient when they took time to get to know my husband's ways. Of course, there are always a few things that don't quite work as well as at home, but from the first visit, everything went smoothly. The dining arrangements were extremely good and my husband enjoyed his meals very much. He also liked being out in the garden, which is small but nicely planted."
